Here's some photos of my custom WWII field stove. This is a small stove meant to feed up to 30 men. It runs off of gasoline fed from an upside down jerry can fitted with a hose and a special cap. The long pipe is a smoke stack. It was very hard to find any good photos of this stove which made making mine difficult. So items like the fuel valve and how the stack attaches may not be correct.
The stove body is made from aluminun and styrene, with the "sheet metal ribbings" represented in strip styrene pieces of a half circle shape. (I hope that makes sense?) The grill is a piece of screen. The smoke stack is then made of thin plastic wrapped in sections around a wooden dowel. This gives the representation that's collaspable metal tubing. Finally, the gas can is a modiefied 21st century make. |
